Southwest Airlines has been a pivotal Airlink partner, facilitating the movement of dozens of responders to communities in crisis across the United States. Southwest support is critical in overcoming barriers to swiftly deliver aid at the earliest stages of a response, and sustaining efforts through protracted emergencies.

Southwest Airlines’ generous donation of both e-passes and points has enabled humanitarian responders to deliver clean water supplies, medical aid, and food supplies to communities impacted by major hurricanes in several states, including Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia.

In 2024, the partnership allowed Airlink to quickly deploy expert volunteers to communities affected by severe weather outbreaks in the Southern United States.
